It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a thatched roof with two gable red brick stacks. The building is a single storey plus attics and has a two-bay front. The central door is blocked and is flanked by two light casement windows, one of which has glazing bars. All the windows have timber lintels. In the roof, there is a single dormer with a two-light casement and a thatched eyebrow.
